San Jose Math Circle and summer vacation

San Jose Math Circle does not meet during summer vacation.
The meeting schedule for 2018-19 will be updated in early September.
We usually make an on-line admission announcement by August 15. The deadline for applying is usually in early September.

Time to apply to summer Math Camps

San Jose Math Circle does not offer a summer program, but around the U.S. there are many great math summer camps.
The best summer programs usually have an application process and are selective.
MathPath is already accepting applications for summer 2018; they have a "rolling admissions" process.

Monthly Math Contest

This page contains links to our monthly math contest problems. The problems are handed out near the beginning of the month and available on our website. Students are strongly encouraged to work on these problems during the month and hand in their solutions on the due date stated on the problem sheet. Solutions are usually available on our website within a month.
Information about the grading of problems is contained in the monthly problem handout. We award prizes at the end of the year to students who have accumulated the most points from solving monthly contest problems. Many of these problems are more challenging than problems we present in class. Please don't be discouraged if you find these problems difficult; they are contest problems. Working diligently on difficult problems will build your problem solving skills.
